LIBRARY, LOCAL WRITERS, AND MAD GOAT COFFEE PARTNER FOR NANOWRIMO

The Danville Public Library, in partnership with Mad Goat Coffee, will present a series of local author discussions throughout the month of November in celebration of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month.)

 

As stated on its website, National November Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is a “fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to creative writing.” On November 1, participants begin working toward the goal of writing a 50,000-word novel by 11:59 p.m. on November 30. To become a participant, register at https://nanowrimo.org.

 

Local authors will be discussing the art and process of writing, editing and publishing on select dates throughout November to assist and inspire NaNoWriMo participants—or anyone interested in the writing process. Topics covered include historical research, finding motivation, submitting manuscripts to publishers and “showing, not telling.” These events will take place at Mad Goat Coffee’s new location at 701 S. Gilbert and the Library.

 

This is the second year the Library has actively participated in NaNoWriMo events. Last year’s events were so popular that participants requested the organization of a group of writers that could continue to meet to share works and ideas. The DPL Writers’ Group began in January of this year and continues to meet on a monthly basis.

 

Brian K. Morris, a featured local author returning for another talk this year, encourages those new to writing to join in the fun. “Is your head filled with the next Harry Potter or the 51st Shade of Gray? NaNoWriMo can help you get that story into print with all the support you could ever want or need.”

For a complete listing of dates, times and particpants, please visit the Library’s website.

 

Event listings may also be found on the Library’s Facebook page
